Roo denial

[KatsHerd]

I know he's a boy. But I'm in denial. Tell me he isn't a roo. it's always got to be my favourites! This one has the most gorgeous personality. I'm so bummed. His sister has started to hate me recently & this dude just keeps getting friendlier. He's a rhode island red x australorp. I wish I had space for another roo!

I think there's always space for a nice friendly roo

Awwe, it's definitely a Roo but if he's a sweetie, maybe try selling him or keeping him if you can. Ive raise straight run chicks a few times so I always end up with Roos. I have a policy of they stay unless there's a problem (be it developing human aggression or overbreeding/fighting with other Roos)

I have debated trying to keep him to see how he goes, we already have 3 other working roosters I'll see how things progress, he's such a lovely boy. If I sell him I'd love for him to end up with his own girls. I'd just hate for him to end up in a crockpot. He's too nice for it haha

made me think what all my roo's do .. 1 started living in the horse barn and attracted a hen with a nest. they hatched the hen left once the babies grew up and now that roo has his own group this is the roo that had been hanging out with my lgd. 2 roo was a trouble roo fighting everyone he paired up with a turkey and they run and chase each other but they hang out as friends. 3 not sure what he does I see him coming and going but never see him go for the hens he is just there looking pretty. 4 and 5 hang out together and roost together. 4 roos roost in the main barn and the 5th roo is in the horse barn.

Hope it works out and your new roo finds a place in your group. They are my favorites too.

That makes me feel better that he & his dad could maybe coexist! We have separate pens & runs for breeds that we keep together to not mix. Then a main big mixed flock that free range, this little guy comes from that group, so could potentially work out if my rhode island continues to accept him

Tell me he isn't a roo.

He isn't a roo.

Also... these aren't the droids you're looking for.
